Ahmed Scoops Danzer
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Omaha-8
It hasn't been a good start for last year's runner up George Danzer. He came into today as one of the top five stacks, but he has quickly lost two big pots, and is now one of our shortest. We caught up with the action between Danzer and Owais Ahmed on the flop, which read 
. Ahmed checked, and Danzer bet out. Ahmed put in a check raise, and Danzer called. From there, Ahmed bet the 
on the turn, and the 
on the river. Danzer called both times, and Ahmed tabled 
for aces and sevens with an ave-four low. Danzer looked at his cards, said "I should have scooped that pot," and mucked his hand, dropping him down to 75,000. Meanwhile, Ahmed rocketed up to 270,000, putting him near our chip leaders.
